A cold shiver runs down her spine, the hysterical throbbing of her heart resonating thunderously in her brain. « I know, Konan. I know you killed our son. » The furious beating of her heart is in danger of fading.

Stitch feels lost (this scene)

[enigmatic--soul]

When you're a kid, you don't notice it and you empathize with Stitch. As an adult, you understand that the scene (and the music, that music in the background) makes you realize the void left by the people you loved...

Characters: Uchiha Itachi, Nara Shikamaru Summary:

Silence speaks. And in a much more eloquent and effective way. In the same way in which that kiss, with an unmistakable and transparent meaning like the water that glistens invitingly a few steps away, covers his lips, gradually tearing him away from that pleasant earthly digression. He lets out a faint moan, received by the other who, without getting upset, just moves his face away, capturing him with that deep and calculating gaze, leaving him momentarily short of synapses. « Itachi. » he hisses, warningly. - - - [ItaShika] | Modern!AU

Cut off from Grand Moff Tarkin’s leash, Vader is free to terrorize the crew of his fleet, starting with the hapless Admiral Ozzel. After his blunder in alerting the Rebels to his presence, thus giving them the time to put a shield and force the Empire to embarking on a costly ground assault, Vader decides to take matters into his own hands, relieving Ozzel of his post via long-distance Force choke and simultaneously using the opportunity to promote Captain Piett to the rank of Admiral.

Until the love that kept them together ends and they separate. Now, after two years, Konan returns to Itachi with a request. Is she still in love with him... Or is there something else behind it? - - - Then she exhales a reply, firm and sweet. Authoritarian and unwilling to accept rejection. « Just give me one night. » « We've had nights like that. For a year and a half. » « And do you think it's too late to make up it? » she questions him softly, a note of tenderness imbued in her voice. His frown underlines the childishness of the question just raised. To tell the truth, he is tempted to tell her a lie, a white lie that could reassure her about the feelings he still has towards her after all that time.

Ahsoka (2023) - Part Five: Shadow Warrior

[tesb]

Hello, Snips. I didn't expect to see you so soon. HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN AS ANAKIN SKYWALKER IN AHSOKA (2023)

[maikaartwork]

Artists, let’s talk about Instagram commission scammers

There’s been a huge rise in commission scammers recently, mostly on Instagram. A lot of new artists don’t know what to look out for, so I figured this might help people.

How they begin

Usually the scammer will write to you asking about a commission. Something deceptively cute - mostly I encounter asks about pet portraits, with one or two photos sent. They’ll probably try to sell you a sweet little story, like “It’s for my son’s birthday”. They will insist that they love your artwork and style, even though they don’t follow you or never liked a single piece of your art.

What to look out for:

Their profiles will either be private, empty, or filled with very generic stuff, dating at most a few years back.

Their language will be very simple, rushed or downright bad. They might use weird emojis that nobody ever uses. They will probably send impatient “??” when you don’t answer immediately. They’re in a crunch - lots of people to scam, you know. 

They’ll give you absolutely no guidelines. No hints on style, contents aside from (usually) the pet and often a name written on the artwork, no theme. Anything you draw will be perfect. Full artistic freedom. In reality they don’t really care for this part.

They’ll offer you a ridiculous amount of money. Usually 100 or 300 USD. They’ll often put in a phrase like “I am willing to compensate you financially” and “I want the best you can draw”, peppered with vague praise. It will most likely sound way too good to be true. That’s because it is.

Where the scam actually happens

If you agree, they will ask you for a payment method. They’ll try to get to this part as soon as possible. 

Usually, they’ll insist on PayPal. And not just any PayPal. They’ll always insist on sending you a transfer immediately. None of that PayPal Invoice stuff (although some do have methods for that, too). They’ll really, REALLY want to get your PayPal email address and name for the transfer - that’s what they’re after. If you insist on any other method, they’ll just circle back to the transfer “for easiest method”. If you do provide them with the info, most likely you’ll soon get a scam email. It most likely be a message with a link that will ultimately lead to bleeding you dry. Never, and I mean NEVER click on any emails or links you get from them. It’s like with any other scam emails you can ever get.

A few things can happen here:

They overpay you and ask for the difference to be wired back. Usually it will go to a different account and you’ll never see that money again. 

They’ll overpay you “for shipping costs” and ask you to forward the difference to their shipping company. Just like before, you’ll never see that money again.

The actual owner of the account (yes, they most likely use stolen accounts to wire from) will realize there’s been something sketchy going on and request a refund via official channels. Your account will be charged with fees and/or you get in trouble for fraudulent transactions. 

You will transfer the money from your PayPal credit to your bank account and they will make a shitstorm when they want their money back, making your life a living hell. They will call you a scammer, a thief, make wild claims, wearing you down and forcing you into wiring money “back” - aka to their final destination account. 

Never, EVER wire money to anyone. This is not how it’s supposed to go. Use PayPal Invoice for secure exchanges where the client needs to provide you with their email, not the other way around.

You can find more info on that method HERE.

What to do when you encounter a scammer:

Ask the right questions: inquire about the style, which artwork of yours they like, as much details as you can. They won’t supply you with any good answers.

Don’t let the rush of the exchange, their praise and the promise of insanely good money to get to you. That’s how they operate, that’s how they make you lose vigilance. 

Don’t engage them. As soon as you realize it might be a scam, block them. The sense of urgency they create with their rushed exchange, and pressure they put on you will sooner or later get to you and you might do something that you’ll regret later.

Never wire money to anyone. Never give out your personal data. Never provide your email, name, address or credit card info. 

Don’t be deceived by receiving a payment, if you somehow agree to go along with it. Just because it’s there now doesn’t mean it can’t be withdrawn. 

Here is a very standard example of such an exchange. I realized it’s a scam pretty fast and went along with it, because I wanted good screenshots for you guys, so I tried going very “by the book” with it. 

Please share this post, make it reach as many artists as possible. Let young or inexperienced artists know that this is going on. So many people have no idea that this is a thing. Let’s help each other out. If you think I missed any relevant info, do add it as an rb!

Also, if you know other scam methods that you think should be shared, consider rb-ing this post with them below. Having a master post of scam protection would AWESOME to have in the art community.

That's it. » He runs his fingertip along her cheek, as if to comfort her. « Would you have me believe that you're really willing to put a clean break on what you've built so far simply to spite on the man who loves you madly and who is even my boss? That you're willing to run away to reclaim your life, to recreate it from scratch… With someone like me? » A pause. « Even knowing that I don't love Rin, that my kin imposed her on me by virtue of some union between families with related advantages? Although you are well aware that she is carrying my child, and that I have no intention of abandoning him? » The man's voice is more of a whisper steeped in bewilderment and guilt.
